Until very recently, Professor Yuval Noah Harari was largely unknown, except enter the World
00:00:06.580
Economic Forum, and all of a sudden, he's a star on the stage of the world. The liberal media is
00:00:12.480
going nuts over the guy. Why? Well, he touts all the liberal boxes. He checks them like nothing
00:00:17.820
else. There is no God. We are, you know, we are supreme. We're going to get there with people
00:00:23.320
being combined with computers. It's going to be an amazing future, et cetera, et cetera.
00:00:27.140
Well, what is driving this guy? Why is he a top advisor to the World Economic Forum? Why is everybody
00:00:34.180
waiting with bated breath on his every word? Well, I'll give you a hint. It has something to do with
00:00:40.060
the fact that he's an active homosexual. That's just a hint. This is the John Henry Weston Show,
00:00:45.540
where we're going to go into that in much greater depth. Stay tuned.
00:00:56.700
Let's begin, as we always do, with the sign of the cross. In the name of the Father,
00:01:10.880
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. So, Professor Yuval Noah Harari is a highly influential
00:01:19.460
favorite, especially in today's politics. But why is he so involved in politics? Well, let's look at his
00:01:27.740
key ideas and beliefs. We can begin to see his motivation into getting into all of this. He's a
00:01:34.860
lecturer at the Department of History in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Harari uses history, philosophy,
00:01:41.100
and biology in his reflections on what he believes are the most important global challenges facing the
00:01:47.360
world today, and strives to focus the public conversation on these issues. So, with this goal
00:01:53.900
in mind, he wrote five books that describe his worldview and the things he thinks others ought to
00:02:00.640
prioritize. He also co-founded Sapienship. The word sapien, of course, coming from Homo sapien. So,
00:02:07.000
Sapienship, he calls a social impact company with projects in the fields of entertainment and education.
00:02:13.260
with the man he refers to as his husband. And I kid you not, he refers to him multiple times as his
00:02:21.320
husband. And it's actually his original agent as well. His name is Itzhak Yahav. Now, we'll get into
00:02:29.100
all that in a moment. But this company, and I'll quote it for you, advocates for global responsibility
00:02:35.280
through its mission. To clarify the global conversation, to focus attention on the most
00:02:40.980
important challenges, and to support the quest for solutions. And Sapienship highlights three
00:02:47.520
problems. Those are technological disruption, ecological collapse, and the nuclear threat. End quote.
00:02:54.560
Of course, hence why he's so popular nowadays. Harari mentions his husband in multiple interviews.
00:03:02.300
And, get this, he admits with pride that being gay affects his research, which serves as a major
00:03:15.200
Science certainly helped me to accept my sexuality as it is. People often say that it is unnatural to be
00:03:23.080
gay. That nature wanted males to love females and females to love males, and gay people break the laws of
00:03:30.380
nature. Scientific research taught me that this is utter nonsense. There is just no such thing as
00:03:38.340
unnatural behavior. Anything that exists is by definition also natural.
00:03:46.680
So Harari argues that there is no purpose to sex comparing human sexuality with the sexuality of a
00:03:54.260
chimpanzee. Watch it for yourself. For example, among our closest relatives in nature, the chimpanzees,
00:04:02.720
homosexual behavior is quite common. Most sexual activities among chimpanzees are not done in order to
00:04:11.920
procreate little chimps. Rather, chimpanzees use sex to cement political alliances, to establish intimacy,
00:04:21.640
and to diffuse tensions. Is there anything unnatural about it? The idea that sex exists
00:04:28.880
only for the purpose of procreation is complete nonsense invented by priests and rabbis.
00:04:38.600
In truth, our concept of natural and unnatural are not taken from biology. They're taken from
00:04:44.400
Christian theology, he says. So, as we know, God, of course, did create man to be superior to all other
00:04:52.460
animals, but Harari reduces humanity to its base animal level, describing God as a myth, a big man
00:04:59.080
in the sky who gets angry when two men love one another, he says. And continuing with this kind of
00:05:06.200
language, he says that no big man in the sky gets angry. The only people who get angry are all sorts
00:05:14.300
of priests and rabbis. So, he fleshes out this idea of religion as mythology in his book, Sapiens,
00:05:21.500
describing how humans became the dominant creature on the earth. And Harari's official website describes
00:05:28.260
this first book as one that analyzes various topics, following humanity's development across history
00:05:34.740
and ranging from, we rule the world because we are the only animal that can believe in things that
00:05:40.960
exist purely in our own imagination, such as God, states, money, and human rights, end quote. And also,
00:05:48.660
he says, with the help of novel technologies, within a few centuries or even decades, Sapiens will
00:05:55.000
upgrade themselves into completely different beings enjoying God-like qualities and abilities,
00:06:01.500
end quote. So, for example, in chapter one, Harari claims that, and I quote, we assume that a large
00:06:09.160
brain, the use of tools, superior learning abilities, and complex social structures are huge advantages.
00:06:16.180
It seems self-evident, he says, that these have made humankind the most powerful animal on earth,
00:06:22.400
but humans enjoyed all these advantages for a full two million years while remaining weak and
00:06:29.540
marginal creatures, end quote. In the next chapter, he explains his theory of war, in which he says,
00:06:36.600
and I quote, having so recently been one of the underdogs of the savannah, that means of the desert,
00:06:43.820
we are full of fears and anxiety over our position, which makes us doubly cruel and dangerous.
00:06:51.540
Many historical calamities, from deadly wars to ecological catastrophes, have resulted from this
00:06:59.060
over-hasty jump, end quote. So, this is where he's coming from. So, if you look into his book further,
00:07:08.180
he claims this, quote, fiction has enabled us not merely to imagine things, but to do so collectively.
00:07:15.560
We can weave common myths such as the biblical creation story, the dreamtime myths of aboriginal
00:07:22.860
Australians, and the nationalist myths of modern states. Such myths give sapiens the unprecedented
00:07:31.840
ability to cooperate flexibly in large numbers, end quote. In other words, human superiority is the
00:07:39.860
result of storytelling, and humanity's myths bring about our social nature. So, picking up where sapiens
00:07:47.720
left off, Homo Deus, is another book of his, explores how global power might shift as the principal force
00:07:56.340
of evolution, natural selection, is replaced by intelligent design. And we saw that in his last video,
00:08:02.800
where it's not intelligent design by God, it's our own intelligent design, as he says.
00:08:07.040
Harari reiterates this idea many, many times when talking about technology. Watch for yourself.
00:08:16.400
We humans should get used to the idea that we are no longer mysterious souls. We are now hackable animals.
00:08:27.940
So, these clips are from Harari's talks, mostly at the World Economic Forum, where he's not only a
00:08:37.920
contributor, he's an agenda contributor as well. So, Harari published a list of errors from this book,
00:08:45.940
Homo Deus, on his website, correcting them. But he maintains that none of these errors changed the
00:08:51.920
core arguments of the book. Most of the corrections were either statistics, dates, or other details, but
00:08:58.540
some, like this one, seemed to be rationalization, an attempt to save his argument in the face of
00:09:08.780
While this may have been a public relations stunt more than a serious move, in numerous other companies,
00:09:15.820
algorithms are joining management boards in more discreet ways. Official membership of the board
00:09:22.160
is perhaps still restricted to humans, but what these humans choose to do is increasingly shaped by
00:09:30.060
algorithms. In many cases, the humans just rubber stamp the recommendations of the algorithms,
00:09:38.180
So, having received criticism, Harari responds with a claim that his argument can still stand
00:09:44.960
without this evidence that he originally hoped to support it with. His example of a particular
00:09:51.180
company, now no longer relevant, failed, and he turned to a personal statement about other companies
00:09:58.220
leaving the specifics behind. He claimed that there were companies with AI on their boards, and of course,
00:10:05.300
there weren't. But clearly, he takes events and fits them into his narrative. His narrative continues
00:10:13.020
to be very empirical and negative. According to Harari, he says, Homo sapiens is a post-truth
00:10:20.300
species whose power depends on creating and believing fictions. So, Harari says he believes in science
00:10:29.840
and its two processes of deterministic and random processes. Now, a combination of the two, he claims,
00:10:37.560
creates probability, and he suggests the closest thing there is to freedom is this probability. But
00:10:44.000
there is no free will. He claims that even though free will was always a myth and not a scientific
00:10:51.960
reality, the United States Declaration of Independence begins this way. We hold these truths to be self-evident,
00:11:05.960
that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, and
00:11:15.680
these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. In his book Sapiens, Harari gives us his own version
00:11:23.260
of this famous sentence. He puts it this way, we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men
00:11:31.220
evolved differently, that they are born with certain mutable characteristics, that means changeable
00:11:38.600
characteristics, and that among these are life and the pursuit of pleasure. Harari's argument is that
00:11:46.640
since there is no creator, he calls God the man in the sky, remember, we cannot be created equal, and
00:11:54.020
therefore human beings cannot be endowed by the creator with any unalienable rights. We see Harari
00:12:01.540
translating the Declaration of Independence into biological terms, an error that he seems to
00:12:08.420
habitually commit. In fact, Harari claims that everything, right from free will to happiness, must
00:12:15.300
pass the scientific meter, thus rubbishing or making garbage all of philosophy. He's willing to speak
00:12:23.860
his logic and take it to its logical extreme, which is always a good test of things, but where he gets to
00:12:31.560
is, of course, insanity. He says there's no free will, people shouldn't be given, you know, inalienable
00:12:37.400
rights at all. They don't have them, and so he's willing to put all of that on the table. He's really
00:12:44.260
willing to speak openly about forcibly getting the jab, how that should be tracking people. He doesn't
00:12:53.860
care about freedom. He doesn't care about human freedom at all, and at least that way he's being
00:12:59.120
consistent when many others would not. It's a very scary reality he's pointing to. It's a very alarming
00:13:06.780
thing, and that's why for those people with some sanity left, his videos are totally alarming, but
00:13:14.120
you've got to see the devotion that follows him from the left. People are enamored. Video hosts say,
00:13:22.000
oh, I can't wait to have you back on again. It's so good. I feel all tingly when you come on.
00:13:30.860
It's brilliant, and it's out right now. Please welcome one of the brightest minds
00:13:34.400
on planet Earth, the incredible Yuval Noah Harari. How are you? Yuval, thank you for coming back to
00:13:42.740
speak to us on the show. We're so happy that you're here. Thank you for inviting me again.
00:13:46.780
Oh, we would have you on every week. I mean, just for me personally, for my own sense of self.
00:13:53.740
For LifeSite News, this is John Henry Weston, and may God bless you.
